LTC4081
500mA Li-Ion Charger
with NTC Input and
300mA Synchronous Buck
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC4081 is a complete constant-current/constant-
voltage linear battery charger for a single-cell 4.2V
lithium-ion/polymer battery with an integrated 300mA
synchronous buck converter. A 3mm
×
3mm DFN pack-
age and low external component count make the LTC4081
especially suitable for portable applications. Furthermore,
the LTC4081 is specifically designed to work within USB
power specifications.
The
⎯
C
⎯
H
⎯
R
⎯
G pin indicates when charge current has
dropped to ten percent of its programmed value (C/10).
An internal 4.5 hour timer terminates the charge cycle.
The full-featured LTC4081 battery charger also includes
trickle charge, automatic recharge, soft-start (to limit inrush
current) and an NTC thermistor input used to monitor
battery temperature.
The LTC4081 integrates a synchronous buck converter
that is powered from the BAT pin. It has an adjustable
output voltage and can deliver up to 300mA of load cur-
rent. The buck converter also features low-current high-
efficiency Burst Mode operation that can be selected by
the MODE pin.
The LTC4081 is available in a 10-lead, low profile (0.75
mm) 3mm
×
3mm DFN package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC4081 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
43°C/W.
Note 4:
Although the LTC4081 charger functions properly at 3.75V, full
charge current requires an input voltage greater than the desired final
battery voltage per
ΔV
UVCL1
specification.
Note 5:
The 2.8V maximum buck undervoltage lockout (V
UVLO_BUCK
) exit
threshold must first be exceeded before the minimum V
BAT
specification
applies.
